Setting the alarm
The Alarm setting lets you set an audible alarm for events in your Date
Book, and display a reminder message on-screen. For untimed events, only
the reminder message appears.
Setting an alarm for an event
You can set an alarm for minutes, hours, or days before an event. When you
set an alarm, an Alarm icon appears to the far right of the event with the
alarm.
You can also set a silent alarm for untimed events that displays a reminder
message on-screen before the day of the event. The alarm triggers at the
specified period of minutes, hours, or days before midnight of the day on
which the untimed event begins.
For example, you set a 5-minute alarm for an untimed event that occurs on
February 4. The reminder message will appear at 11:55 p.m. on the night of
February 3. The reminder remains onscreen until you turn on your pda
phone and tap OK to turn off the reminder.
To set an alarm for an event:
1. Tap the event to which you want to assign an alarm.
2. Tap Details.
3. Tap the Alarm check box to select it. Tap None to appear Change
Alarm dialog box.
